What you got today

Today I got a pair of TrustFire 26650 5000mAh from Manafont ordered on May 4th, and an UltraFire HD2010 from EasyLightBuy ordered on May 5th. Emitter seems a wee bit off center, should I try (and how?) to reposition it, or leave it like this?

Nothing wrong with it. Others had the same thing. The reflector moves around a wee bit when assembling, making the emitter look off-center. Loosen the bezel and jiggle the light until the reflector seats just right and tighten without throwing it off. You can make it perfect with only a few minutes effort tops.

Yesterday I received my free holster from Telman2 as well as my "free" ($3.50 shipping) Coast G10 flunklight, err, uh...flashlight. Nice knurling and ano, but the crappy on both ends with the 5mm LED and junk tail switch. Real waste of a nice body but not much you can do to improve it. No brighter than a generic fauxton but with an AAA cell it should run a lot longer than one.

Thanks for the tip JohhnyMac, I was skeptical if I should do it, but I suppose there isn't much to it to re-seat the reflector... oh and this light really rocks!!! :P Can't wait until it gets dark here to try it out!

Just noticed a funny thing... the SOS wrong... it's supposed to be 3 short, 3 long, 3 short, and on mine it goes 3 long, 3 short, 3 long... so it's an OSO not an SOS... lol anyone else's behaving like this?

You’re welcome for the tip. As for the SOS, I’ll have to check mine. I thought it was correct but now I’m sure if it was another light or not I checked recently. If it is wrong it doesn’t matter much anyway since I never plan to use it.

Me neither, but check the pattern, goes .../---/---/.../---/---/... and so on...

A DIY amp put together based around the LM833 and LM1875 chip amps, mostly scratch built with my own etched PCBs and design. I put it together at home during my first year at high school. Still working great, but I've added a sub amp with parametric equalisation for a sub which is a 8" poly driver which with eq goes down to a usable 35-40 hz. Nothing spectacular but does the job. At least you can get decent amplification rather cheaply, but where money needs to first be spent in a budget sound system is on good speakers.

That's SOO.

FF HD2011 has that same idiotic pattern.

nothing to do with torches or batteries but I finally saved enough for a

canon speedlite 580ex ii

lol I suppose this is chinese morse code... :D

Congrats!!!

Thanks. I've been wanting one for a looooong time.

I got my ultrafire t50.

So far so good. The sitting of the tail magnet onto metal surface is cool. But gotta lay it there carefully. If I happen to slep it there with the slightest of force. The light turns off.

Got some Xtar 18700 batteries and a Sipik sk68 clone. Waiting for my other flashlight to get here to test the batteries.

I got my free laser pointer from the dailyshop. Thanks Jennifer. The laser focuses into a dot, astronaut, happy feet and a spaceship. Two LEDs put out 3.7 lumens. The kids like it.

I got my Olight M3X today...kelly

Ceiling bounce + Flashlight = Awesome photos!

My wife made 4 orders from ali express on the 12 May from 4 different sellers. 2 arrived today and 2 yesterday. That is pretty good I think (apart from the fact they were not for me)

Got any photos to show?

yep, that's the sympathic girl we had banned from BFL

:p
